Grandchildren's Rights: Do They Inherit Grandfather's Property After Mother's Death?

• The Hindu Succession Act, 1956, clarifies inheritance rights for grandchildren.
• If a person dies without a will, property is divided equally among Class 1 heirs: wife, son, and daughter.
• A mother's 1/3 share in her father's property does not cease upon her death; it passes to her legal heirs (husband and children).
• Grandchildren have a legal right to their deceased mother's share in their grandfather's property.
• Property received from the father after 1956 is considered personal property, with sons and daughters having equal birth rights.
